So everything is working as it should other than no fans?
If this is the case, you need a blower motor resistor. It sits on top of the blower casing behind glovebox. If you dont know what you are doing can be a pain in the you know what to change.

Yep; you're right. The local dealer said the same thing...a blower resistor accessible through the glove box. I decided to let them change it. If I were in Cincinnati (summer home), I would have my garage and tools available for such things.

Sometimes you can reach up and smack the blower motor and it will come back to life for a while. A piece of solder breaks off inside the resistor pack. Can be repaired but part if only $100 something anyway.
Good luck
